Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a competent sniper sim that lacks the edge required to be a real sharpshooter.

Carefully engineered sniper action that’s let down by frequent departures into close combat, exposing weak gunplay and a lack of polish.

33bits	Erika Gonzalvez Nestares	80 / 100	06-08-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has been a leap within the saga improving the aspects that clouded the first installment making the game experience quite rewarding.	Read review
BaziCenter	Hamed Mohhamd Pour	7 / 10	07-05-2021	While Ghost Warrior Contracts is nothing extraordinary and does not evolve the genre in any particular way, it still offers a pleasant experience to both fans of the series and the genre.	Read review
Chalgyr’s Game Room	Nick Herber	7.25 / 10	07-30-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is not a AAA title, and it lacks a bit of the polish that comes with that, especially where the environmental interactions and some of the visuals are concerned. That being said, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 gets it right where it matters most – the sniping gameplay. Scouting out for that perfect shot when you connect with it is incredibly satisfying. That gameplay loop of making money, improving your gear and skills and trying things from a different angle was a lot of fun, even with some of its rough edges.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Alex Beaty	5 / 10	06-22-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is good for a short time, not a long time. What could have been a glorious game full of compelling contracts and challenging assassinations gets muddied by boring regions that are just begging to be filled with objectives to make them seem worthwhile. Instead, you’ll spend more time walking around than actually sniping the baddies. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 feels unsure of whether it can truly be a strong sniper simulator so instead it tries to outgun other FPS and assassination games – unfortunately, despite it’s fun sniping gunplay, it misses the mark on both.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Raúl Pinto	Not Recommended	09-03-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a first-person shooter game where we will take the role of a sniper who must to help end the tyrannical regiment that looms over the fictional country of Kuamar. A game that aims to be as precise as possible when it comes to stepping into the shoes of a sniper with highly polished weapon mechanics, well-detailed scenery, and consistent contracts.	Read review
COGconnected	Mark Steighner	75 / 100	07-04-2021	Players of the first Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts game will find this second game an all-around improvement, especially in mission design and pacing. The story is a bland concoction of cultural and military stereotypes but it does a proper job of setting the stage for the action, which can be very satisfying, at least at sniping distance. The less open-world nature of the campaign keeps things moving and the large toybox of gadgets and weapons is there for players to use, or not. I wish Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 had a more engaging set of characters and better action combat outside the sniping mechanics, but the game is a well-made step in the right direction for the franchise.	Read review
Critical Hit	Darryn Bonthuys	8 / 10	06-09-2021	Boring narrative aside, Sniper Elite Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is superb at delivering its bread and ballistics gameplay. Focused purely on the art of the kill, CI Games has crafted numerous detailed sandboxes to become the ultimate long-distance predator inside of, resulting in a game that forges ahead and doubles down on its own unique brand of hold-your-breath gunplay. Pure cathartic and exhilarating action with every squeeze of the trigger.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Steven McGehee	8.4 / 10	10-04-2018	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a concise, focused sniping experience that packs a good punch at just $40. With lots of long range shots, fun gadgets, and good mission design, it’s an easy recommend if you’re looking for a summer sniping romp.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Icilio Bellanima	6.5 / 10	06-09-2021	The core of the experience remains pleasant and fun, provided, however, that it is taken more like a more of the same, if not almost an expansion of the first Contracts, and to accept its obvious limits and problems.	Read review
FingerGuns	Greg Hicks	9 / 10	06-17-2021	Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a prime example of sequel done right. A few technical issues that highlight the mid-line entry of the game don’t dampen the experience. The sniping, its core tenet, is where the money is. About half a mile away, in someone’s head. Go and get your money’s worth.	Read review
Gamefa	مهدی ملکی	7 / 10	07-19-2021	So, if you can tolerate the lack of a story and engaging characterization and stereotypical AI flaws, Ghost Sniper Warrior: Contracts 2 can provide you with an incredibly enjoyable simulation experience of single shooting.	Read review
GameGrin	Andrew Duncan	8 / 10	06-30-2021	Despite some glitches and bugs, and a useless drone, this really is the definitive modern day sniper experience, and definitely recommended.	Read review
GameMAG	Unknown	7 / 10	06-06-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a rather simplistic game, aimed to the more casual audience. It can be a little frustrating, especially when there’s too much enemies on screen, and when the pacing starts to drag on. But the shooting itself feels fine, and it’s not like there is a lot of sniper-focused games on the market right now.	Read review
GameSkinny	Justin Koreis	8 / 10	06-10-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 delivers one of the best shooters of the year, with intense sniping, skillfully crafted progression, and engaging levels	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	8 / 10	06-09-2021	On the whole, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is an accomplished sequel. It builds on the first game in meaningful ways, expanding the scope of its gameplay while also being more accessible to newcomers. It remains great fun visiting one of the classic regions and figuring out the best ways to complete its available contracts, while the new long-range contract regions complement them very well, offering a different type of sniping challenge. Better yet, despite being released at a budget price, it has the look and feel of a AAA game. Needless to say, if you’re keen to do some armchair sniping, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 deserves to be in your game collection.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Rob Larkin	7.4 / 10	07-13-2021	Sniping is a mechanic found in just about every FPS game, but it’s the rarer entries into the genre, like Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, that focus the entire gameplay loop around it. That loop is done well and the core of the game is an excellent, puzzle-like experience of picking off a target with precision and skill from a kilometer away. The game mostly falters in that, with only five missions in play at launch, and very little offered around this core loop, it all feels a little short. There is a good game here, and here’s hoping the planned DLC can really reveal the best bits and offer more of that satisfying core experience.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ron Burke	75 / 100	06-12-2021	With exhilarating moment to moment gameplay, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 delivers on its promise of longer shots, new gadgets, better contracts, and everything you’ve come to expect. Sure, it brings bugs and design choices that’ll make you scratch your head, but that’s no reason to avoid this one. Lock and load.	Read review
GBAtemp	Ben Sellwood	8.3 / 10	09-20-2021	A huge step in the right direction, and more groundbreaking and notable than the last game; SGWC2 legitimately elevates its self from its pedigree to form an absolutely rock solid package. This is definitely one to play and highly recommended for sniping aficionados. Now that the level of presentation matches the in-game content it’s a package not to be missed especially on PS5.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Juan Lorente	7.8 / 10	06-12-2021	‎If I had to define Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 in a nutshell I would say that it is another step for a path that gradually looks very good. When I play the first installment the truth is that despite its failures I could enjoy the whole title, getting to have really memorable moments. I expected a little more from this new Contracts, and the truth is that it has been from start to finish. ‎	Read review
God is a Geek	Mick Fraser	7.5 / 10	09-07-2021	With some nicely-detailed visuals and decent voice-acting, Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts 2 is a polished offering from CI Games.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Dariusz Matusiak	7.5 / 10	06-07-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 works well as a sniping game and a stealth FPP game with interesting maps. The title focuses on getting straight to gameplay instead of overwhelming players with numerous scripts and cutscenes. It’s not perfect, but each installment of the series is getting closer to a bullseye.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	David Martinez	72 / 100	06-07-2021	Contracts was a great step ahead for the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, and this sequel is even better. Sniping is fun, and we like the open level design, but there are still some technical issues with AI, loading times and several bugs.	Read review
IGN	Tristan Ogilvie	6 / 10	06-17-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a competent sniper sim that lacks the edge required to be a real sharpshooter.	Read review
IGN Italy	Angelo Bianco	7.5 / 10	06-07-2021	Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a tactical shooter that hits the mark and uses well-proven gameplay mechanics, but doesn’t offer much more than the previous chapter.	Read review
IGN Spain	Álex Pareja	7 / 10	06-07-2021	Continuist sequel that fans of the first game will appreciate. A unique experience at its highest difficulty levels when we have the sniper rifle in our hands, and another more traditional and less inspired in the rest.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Adrian Gunning	4.3 / 5 stars	09-29-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a fun next-gen experience on the PlayStation 5 and the devs should be commended on implementing some new gaming tech with the franchise from 4K graphics to fast load times and my personal favourite, immersive haptics when you pull the trigger. Additionally the gameplay works well and all in, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a positive and engaging experience on the PlayStation 5.	Read review
JVL	Jivé	8 / 10	09-13-2021	The episode of maturity for CI Games. Between the phases of pure action and infiltration, this Contracts 2 gives you a feeling of deep freedom in the open worlds traveled, and the stress of being spotted is even more present. Add to this beautiful scenery thanks to the CryEngine and an interesting contribution of the DualSense, you have here a perfect simulator of remote murder.	Read review
LevelUp	Sebastian Vogel	7.3 / 10	06-15-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a good game that delivers in almost every aspect and definitely hits the target on the sniping sections.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	5 / 10	06-10-2021	Carefully engineered sniper action that’s let down by frequent departures into close combat, exposing weak gunplay and a lack of polish.	Read review
New Game Network	Alex Varankou	70 / 100	06-09-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a safe sequel that doesn’t address enough issues from its predecessor, while diluting the improved and exciting stealth infiltration missions with uninspiring extreme-long-range assignments.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Noyan Akatlı	7 / 10	06-25-2021	Stealth-heavy action/FPS hack with replayability.	Read review
PC Gamer	Rick Lane	80 / 100	06-17-2021	Blending classic stealth mechanics with puzzle-y sniping, Contracts 2 gets the job done.	Read review
PC Invasion	Jason Rodriguez	7 / 10	06-09-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 still manages to offer a decent romp with its blend of stealth and action. Unfortunately, it relies too much on “long shot contracts” as opposed to the sandbox-oriented exploration of its predecessor. Likewise, given a multitude of challenges in each level, the autosave system becomes noticeably restrictive.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Joe Apsey	7.5 / 10	07-01-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a step up for CI Games and the franchise. Running much better than its predecessor and finding the right gameplay formula, the experience is a fun one that allows you to turn your brain off and just let loose, sniping some fools from a cliffside. Whilst not amazing, I am hopeful for the future of the franchise and where CI Games takes it.	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	3 / 5 stars	06-16-2021	While I lauded the original Contracts for its promise and revitalization for the series, turned out to be short-lived. This is a good game, marred by outdated stealth design, a continued lack of manual saving, and frustrations solved by other games many times over. This is a game that’s meant to be replayed, and should despite some drawbacks and flaws CI Games has yet to address. It’s true that Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a better game than its predecessor in every way, still providing thrills through a deep and rewarding sniping system enhanced by some impressive gore and ranges only real snipers have experienced, until now.

SECTOR.sk	Peter Dragula	7.5 / 10	06-16-2021	Sniper in Hitman style is not perfect, but worth to play.	Read review
Softpedia	Cosmin Vasile	7.5 / 10	06-13-2021	Review code provided by the publisher.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Denis Burčík	80 / 100	06-09-2021	If you’re familiar with the series, Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts 2 doesn’t really offer anything new and the story is nothing to write home about, but the missions are varied enough to keep you entertained, with beautiful graphics to boot.	Read review
SpazioGames	Nicolò Bicego	7.3 / 10	06-14-2021	A step ahead for the lovers of sniping games, but for the future we hope to see something more unique and distinctive for the franchise.	Read review
The Games Machine	Marco Ravetto	7.2 / 10	06-10-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a title that continues the path started by its predecessor, placing the thrill of a mercenary sniper’s life in a simple, linear and somewhat bland story. A rather predictable but all in all enjoyable experience, with some limitations (and some oddities) in artificial intelligence and an average graphics/sound department.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Aran Suddi	8 / 10	06-28-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a particularly good sniping game. The set up is a hammy take on how superpower interventions only occur when there is a financial motivation, and comes off as a little bit awkward, but the game’s regions are unique and fun to explore, enemies are tough to handle, and the challenges are fun to master. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 should be a go to for sniper game fans.	Read review
WayTooManyGames	Jordan Hawes	8 / 10	07-09-2021	Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a game designed for my taste. It offers me a buffet of different gameplay options, tech, stealth opportunities, and sniping that I love. It mixes the action stealth gameplay and long distance sniping simulation very well, and while it may not be super exciting, it gives methodical players like myself something to obsess over.	Read review
Wccftech	Chris Wray	7 / 10	06-19-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is one of the best games in the world for doing sniping right, that’s something I firmly believe. However, CI Games almost seem afraid of letting the game shine, all too often moving you away from sniping, an action the game is named after. In addition, the game is showing a few issues, such as downright stupid AI and a few bugs here and there. It’s a shame because there are good open areas to move around in, the contracts allow you to use your brain and plan the perfect hit and it all looks great while you’re on your path to becoming the world’s best blood-spatter creator.

WellPlayed	Zach Jackson	8.5 / 10	06-21-2021	Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 builds on the foundations laid by its predecessor and elevates the series to new heights thanks to satisfying long-range sniping and impressive level design	Read review
Zoomg	افشین پیروزی	7 / 10	06-16-2021	Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is one of those games that is neither perfect nor even classy; is more than anything interesting because the overall good gameplay, which gives the players the freedom to act well in the way they want to accomplish the mission.
